This evening, I attended a concert in the town plaza. When I arrived, the set had just started. I was startled when I saw the drummer; he looked to be about six years old! (He was ten; his brother, the guitarist, was thirteen. Their father played the keyboard.)

I was even more startled when a woman approached and thanked me profusely for the excellent hamburger supper.

I recognized her as one of our newest customers at the daily meal giveaway, at which I pass out pre-packed bags. At most, if I arrive in time, I help put the food containers, and the accoutrements, into the takeout bags.

I said I’d pass on her compliments to our chef.

The lady, Lynne, told me to make sure to reserve some for myself and my fellow servers. She said she was grateful not only for the excellent (?) meals but also for our smiles.

I look forward to tomorrow. Most of the crew will be there; when I share Lynne’s words their smiles will surely be extra wide.
